Tag Archives: George Harrison

I’m still getting the hang of this blog, so for now I have no better option than to link to the video I’m referencing in this post since it’s an autoplaying MOV file and not the typical FLV, but trust me, it’s worth watching.

The song this man, who I was previously unfamiliar with, plays on his ukulele is one of my all-time favorites due to its pure beauty. Unaccompanied guitar is a beautiful sound, and George Harrison knows that better than almost anyone. The Ukulele is an interesting instrument because it can easily be ignored or joked about for its oftentimes harsh, concentrated sounds, but in the hands of a master it’s gorgeous. This musician is clearly a master, and I am sure George Harrison would have been more than happy to hear what he did with his work.

Please check it out here and pass it along. It’s worth a few minutes of your time to appreciate true beauty.

EDIT: While the above-linked version of the file is the best quality version, and can be more-easily saved to your hard drive (right-click the above link and choose Save Link As), I did locate a decent-quality version of it on YouTube which I’m embedding here:
